Hi,

I found a problem where it would said "Corrupt Dialog Resource.". I ended up fixing the problem with another resource editor.

This is the code for the dialog box when it showed up corrupt

Code: Select all

  LTEXT   " Aranock Online is licensed to reuse the material from", 2, 150, 10, 168, 11, 0, WS_EX_NOPARENTNOTIFY
}
I deleted these 2 objects in another resource editor and then I was able to open it up in yours.

Code: Select all

  CONTROL 4, 0, "STATIC", SS_BITMAP, 10, 169, 21, 18, WS_EX_NOPARENTNOTIFY
  CONTROL 4, 0, "STATIC", SS_BITMAP, 39, 178, 22, 19, WS_EX_NOPARENTNOTIFY
The program works perfectly fine without those 2 controls, I really have no clue what they do (if you know could you plz tell me), anyways thats what caused the corrupt message to my knowledge.

And it would be cool if you could make it so I didn't have to open it up in another resource editor to fix it. :(

hi, sorry for the late reply, I haven't seen this post before!

indeed, Restorator cannot handle the posted dialog resource. For me, however, it was line 29 that caused the problem:
RTEXT -1, 12, 95, 160, 46, NOT WS_GROUP | SS_ETCHEDHORZ, WS_EX_NOPARENTNOTIFY
Usually, RTEXT starts with a text, see the last 2 LTEXT statements. Now it seems that whereever you got those RC resources, the initial text was optional, and I guess it's a good idea to allow this form of RTEXT and LTEXT syntax. Restorator 2007 will handle LTEXT/RTEXT without text.

Regarding the CONTROL statements you asked: they'll display an image with ID 4. Check out the BITMAP resources of the file, there should be an image with ID 4, one with 1, one with 2, ... The upcoming Restorator 2007 will show the images in the preview, too.

Regards,
Florian
